Modder Behind Bloodborne 60FPS Patch Finally DMCA'd By Sony Four Years Later
Briefly

In 2021, modder Lance MacDonald released a patch to enable 60FPS gameplay for Bloodborne on PS4 Pro. Almost four years later, Sony issued a DMCA takedown request against the mod. This action raises speculation about Sony's plans for Bloodborne, as the game has seen no significant upgrades or ports since its release. Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida hinted that a sequel may depend on director Hidetaka Miyazaki's readiness. The takedown requests could indicate a possible upcoming enhancement for Bloodborne, leaving fans in anticipation.
"On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps. Today I received a DMCA takedown notification on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment asking that I remove links to the patch I posted on the internet."
"Bloodborne has languished for a decade now with no meaningful official upgrades on PS4 Pro, PS5, or PS5 Pro. It never got a remaster or even a PC port."
"Does this suggest Sony might actually have something Bloodborne-related in the works, like a PS5 upgrade that boosts the resolution and framerate on regular modern consoles?"
"I said to him 'I make mods for PlayStation games' and he said 'oh!' And I said 'I made the 60fps mod for Bloodborne.'"
